He Got the Gig

Dave Benton, WCHS (Charleston, West Virginia) morning Anchor has been filling in as the interim evening Anchor since Rick Lord was exited from the station.

Now, word is that Benton has accepted an offer to become the evening anchor at WCHS.

Benton’s career in his home market of Huntington-Charleston spans 3 decades, including time at WSAZ. Benton and WSAZ colleague Kallie Cart moved to WCHS together as weekend co-anchors and reporters.

Benton later joined Jenifer McAndrews as coanchor on the morning desk, where he has been until recently.
